AT review: stage one - impairment

At Stage one of an associates tribunal (AT) review hearing, the AT will consider the evidence provided by both parties (the GMC and PA or AA) to decide whether the PA or AA's fitness to practise remains impaired or not.

This stage outlines:

  • how decisions on impairment should be approached and how the previous tribunal's decision should be considered and,
  • the need to record reasons for decisions on impairment.
